Since portions 18 are formed of the samepiece of sheetmetel las the remainder of the Winding device, it is evident that they are relzttively resilient, land the resiliei'icyis -ilt a direction laterally a ofamd 10:

' I11 utilizing appetites togiifi the base of the strandwith a suitable two-part clamp or protector23. The individual hairs of the strand are then bunched together and engaged in the hook formed by wire 11, at the end of rod 10. The strand is retained in such engaged position, and the operator then takes winding device 16 and advances it to the small end of rod 10"; The entire strand is then engaged by one of the resilient portions 18, and the winding operatron {commenced by turning the windingpdevice in a-counterclockwise direction as VIBWGd in Fig. 1. While the winding device is being rotated around the rod, the operator permitsit to progress away from the head or toward the outer or larger end of rod 10. Thus a strandis wou d: p llv pon. t dfl shown in Fig. 2. Due to the resilience of the pgrtiou l8 whiclrengages the hair strand,and

"due .to the fact that this portion is sprung amount to grip 'the wound hair; Thus the windingrdevicelOiserves toretain the strand upon the rodunder the tension with which the strand has been wound, and in proper position to be heated to impart permanency to the After the hair has been properly wol' ud and gripped by winding device 1 6,;1; moistened pad is wound about the 'woiu1d hair,;and then a suitable tubular electricalheater placed over the entire assembly.

The heating operation need not be described in detaiLas' it is well known in theart.

It should be noted that my winding device can. if desired be used merely asam'eans .vfor gripping theghair strand after it has been .wound' uponrod 10. Thus the hair strand may be wound by hand, and then device 16 forced over the ends ofthe wound-hair to grip thesame andto hold it inproper wound and 'tellsl onedcondition upon the rod. It sh uld also be noted thatduplicate portions 18 are not essential, although they are desirable to form a symmetrical winding device and to anorefirmlyengage the hair strand after the winding-.operation. NVhile the wire 11 for engaging the hair strand is desirable and makes 1tposs1ble .to effect a complete waving operation without the use of tie strings, if des red the strand can be tied tov the small end of the rod'by means of astring,thus dispens- M) jingwith the use of this part.

cause tapered construction compensates for Formation ofrod lO tapered isd'esirable betapering of the hair strandbeing wound. In other words after the hair has been wound upon .the I tapered .rod, its external diameter is l substantially uniform, thus enabling the winding device to properly grip the strand as it progresses outwardly from the rod.

I claim:

1. In a hair winding apparatus, a rod upon which a strand of hair can be spirally wound beginning at one end of the rod, and a relatively rigid wire secured to said one end of the rod, said wire being extended laterally from the axis of the rod, and then curved upon itselfin a plane which is non-perpendicular to the axis of a rod to form an open hook to receive and retain the hair strand.

. 2. In a'hair waving apparatus, a rod upon which a strand of hair can be wound, and a Winding device carried by said rod and made of a single strip of resilient sheet metal,said

winding device including a sleeve longitudinally slidable upon the rod and rotatable about the same, and a portion carriedby said sleeve forming a strand engaging hook.

In a hair waving apparatus, a rod upon whichfafstrand of hair canbe spirally wound, and a-,hairv retaining device carr'iedIby said rod, said device including a sleeve adapted to slidelongitudinally upon the 'rodand torot ate, about.thesame, a pair of spring metal portions extending from one end of the sleeve, said portions being disposed adjacent ,opposite'sidesofthe rod and having resilie'nce-in a direction laterally to the axis of the rod,

' 4. Ina. hair waving apparatus, a rod upon .whichastrand-of hair can be spirally wound, anda hair winding dev ce carr ed by sald rod, said winding device including a sleeve adapted to slide longitudinally of the rod andto rota-te about the same, a pair of spring netalportions extending from one endof the sleeve, said portions being disposedadjacent opposite sides of therod and having resilihenceina. directionl'aterally tothe axis of the rod, said portions being formed to provide .hooksfor engag ng a ,hair' strand.

5. Inaha r winding apparatus, a rod upon which a strand of hair canbespirally wound .a beginning at one end of the rod, and an elongated member having oneend thereof secured to said endof therodandbeing curved upon itself toform a hook lying in a plane whichis non-perpendicular to the axis of the rod.

6.'In a hair waving apparatus,a rod upon which a strand of hair can be spirally wound beginning at one end of the rod, and a hook mounted on said end of the rod adapted to 'e'ngage th'e hair strand to retain the same during a windingoperation, said hook being :formed of an elongated member having one end secured tothe rodand being bent to form a hook llying in a plane which is non-perpendicular and non-parallel with respect to the axis of the rod.
